## What is RideAlong AU?

RideAlong connects people already travelling the same way, so you can share the journey and split the fuel. Now open right across Australia: the airport run, the commute into the city, the drive between regional towns, or the weekend away.

FIND A RIDE
- Search where you're leaving from and going to, with places suggested as you type.
- Browse upcoming trips with pickup points, times and the price per seat, on a list or a map.
- See each driver's profile, ratings and verification badges before you book.
- Request a seat and pay securely in the app, or arrange a direct contribution.
- Nothing on your day yet? Post a "looking for a ride" request or save the route, and get a notification as soon as a driver posts a match.

OFFER A RIDE
- List the seats you have spare. RideAlong suggests a fair price for the distance, and you can change it.
- Choose whether to allow luggage, pets or surfboards, with optional extras.
- Review requests, accept the riders you want, and get paid to your bank.
- Doing the same trip every week? Set it once and it repeats.
- Add a stop along the way, with its own price.

ON THE DAY
- Your trip on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with a countdown to pickup, the driver and the car.
- Add a trip to your calendar, and get a reminder when it's time to leave.
- A Next trip widget, and Siri: "When is my next RideAlong trip?"

SECURE AND FAIR
- Card and Apple Pay payments are handled by Stripe. Your card details are never stored by RideAlong.
- In-app payments are held until both travellers confirm the trip is complete.
- Prices are shown in full, in Australian dollars, before you confirm.

BUILT AROUND SAFETY
- Every member's ID is checked by a real person, and drivers' cars are checked too.
- In-app messaging so you can arrange pickup without sharing your number.
- Optional trip tracking, an in-app safety panel, reporting and blocking.

INVITE A FRIEND
- Share your invite code. They get $5 off their first trip, and once they have taken it you get $5 off your next one.
- Credit comes off what RideAlong charges your card. Your driver is always paid in full. Full terms are in Fees & terms inside the app.

RideAlong is a cost-sharing platform for genuine shared journeys. It is not a taxi or hire-car service, and drivers are not employees. Please travel responsibly and follow local road rules.
